Background and approach
Sessions focus on everyday steps that reduce distress and improve functioning, not on jargon or complicated techniques. Jodi pays close attention to life transitions and issues that often accompany caregiving and aging.

In the therapy room she supports people who want to sort through family problems and the emotional fallout of loss. She helps parents tackle parenting stress and the strain that comes with caregiving roles.
Practical coping strategies are combined with a focus on understanding personal patterns. Jodi holds an MD and is licensed as a clinical marriage and family therapist and as a licensed marriage and family therapist. She works in Maryland and conducts sessions in English.
Her approach aims to be collaborative, steady, and focused on real-world changes.

Client-centered care delivered online
Client-centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own goals; this approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting stress.Jodi will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. Together they will discuss goals, try different techniques when needed, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Figuring out the right fit is treated as part of the therapy process rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coping ideas, or when someone prefers written communication during a busy day.
These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into work and caregiving schedules and to continue progress across life changes and transitions.
